Welcome back to a brand-new episode of 29ERS Unscripted! We are back in our newly updated studio in the heart of Glasgow, ready to dive into some tough questions.

In Episode 169, founders Gillian and Kev sit down to reflect on an incredible 17-year journey of running 29studios. From navigating the early days of our business to operating globally, they share the raw truth about what it really takes to grow, scale, and build trust. We dive deep into the massive disruption of AI in the creative industries, exploring how AI filmmaking and keeping the "human in the loop" is accelerating creative workflows rather than replacing human talent.

Kev and Gillian also discuss why taking calculated risks is essential, explaining that the absolute biggest risk a business can take right now is simply "standing still". Plus, Gillian opens up about a personal health wake-up call last year that shifted her focus to fitness and longevity, and why founders must prioritise their own well-being to truly succeed.

Topics we cover:

• Reflecting on 17 years in business and learning the true value of trust.

• Why you need to stop making things "perfect" and learn to just ship ideas.

• How AI is transforming workflows, making content production better and faster.

• The "10x Mindset" and why delegation is the ultimate key to scaling.

• Why "standing still" is the absolute biggest risk in modern business.

• A personal wake-up call on founder health, weight loss, and longevity.

• The future of agencies: moving from producing content to building dynamic content systems.
